I'm looking for a jacket similar to the Jetstream, but with no hood. Ideal specs would be :
Solid color (Coyote, tan, light brown, or similar)
Windproof
Highly water resistant
Quiet enough for up close whitetail hunting
Pit zips

Does this exist? I've tried looking all over, but can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I've looked at non hunting specific brands, but I question the quietness of them. (The jetstream is too loud IMO) Any input would be appreciated.

Not a hoodless version but...I have 2 jetstreams and after buying a bora, I forgot the jetstream jackets even exist in my closet. If you find a shoeller fabric jacket....it will be better in every way.

Thanks for the input. Willing to deal with a hood if necessary, but solid color is a must. Looks like most of the companies using that fabric are pretty pricey, other than kryptek, but they seem to be discontinuing it.

I have an older guide jacket and it doesn't seem as wind resistant to me. But I am considering the guide pro. I think the SG M7 might be the closest to what I'm looking for minus the hood. Really wish the kuiu proximity LT had pit zips.

You should check out element outdoors. They have some excellent pieces and competitive prices. I've been impressed relative to my sitka/FL/kuiu gear.
